Small bunny




Bunny is an example that every project does not need to be complex. I made this small bunny from thrifted, felted sweaters. I drew the shape on cardstock, cut out two pieces of the sweater, and used the blanket stitch to sew them together. The eyes are buttons, the nose embroidered, and the carrot is cut from felt and glued. Softies can be as complex or simple as you want them to be!

Felted Tote - start to finish



Here is a felted tote that I just finished. My first felting and knitting on cable needles - in the round (untwisted after 3 tries)! Good job, me. I love the yarn, I used a combination Lumpy Bumpy by Farmhouse Yarns and a double strand of Cascade 220 Wool, because my yarn shop does not carry the Berroco.

Before I felted:


After I felted - it shrunk from 16" x 24" to about 14" square. I wasn't sure whether to have the knit side out or the purl side out, but for now i have the knit side.
